Abstract Security Announces Launch of Abstract Intelligence Gallery

Posted in Commentary with tags on August 1, 2024 by itnerd

Abstract Security today announced the launch of Abstract Intelligence Gallery (AIG) which puts threat intelligence to work for enterprise security teams bolstering their detection & analytics workflows without needing specialized platforms or complex management of intel data.

Abstract Security manages high quality threat intelligence through partnerships & integration for key intelligence vendors, including Silent Push, Flashpoint, Google Mandiant, CrowdStrike, Cybersixgill, Cyware, & SecLytics, enabled by the engine that drives Abstract’s streaming security fabric. In addition, customers can operationalize in-house intelligence by uploading it directly to their private Abstract Security deployment.

AIG is built on top of Abstract Security’s streaming analytics platform – enabling correlation of millions of indicators against billions of events in real time. This new capability unlocks several new use cases which will increase customers’ security posture, including: 

  • Streaming Event Correlation: Seamlessly correlates events to known adversary infrastructure, providing real time insights into security breaches.
  • Keyword Monitoring: Monitors threat intelligence feeds for patterns & keywords related to brand and executive monitoring, ensuring proactive threat awareness.
  • Unified Search and Reporting: Delivers a unified search and reporting capability across multiple intelligence providers, simplifying threat analysis and management.
  • Streaming Security Enrichment: Enriches events with real-time threat intelligence data, enhancing detection accuracy and reporting capabilities.

The Abstract Security team will be at Blackhat in Las Vegas next week to discuss this news. 

Abstract has seen growing demand since emerging from stealth and announcing its Seed funding in March 2024. In April, Abstract announced the opening of its first Middle East office. In May, the company announced the addition of Christopher Key to its Board of Directors and was selected as a “Pioneering Cybersecurity Startup” winner, as part of the 2024 Global Infosec Awards.
